DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIG. 1 shows a series of molded bottles 10 having a diameter d which are conveyed from a conveyor 12 via at least one inspection device 14. If the bottle passes the inspection, the inspection device sends a pass signal to the control device 1.
6 and a reject signal is sent to the controller 16 if the bottle fails the test. First rejection device (air nozzle, etc.)
18 can be activated by an activation signal from the controller when the rejected bottle is in front of the air nozzle to blow the bottle from the conveyor into a suitable chute or collection container (not shown). . The shoot sensor 20 confirms that the bottle has been blown off the conveyor by supplying a shoot signal to the control device.

State 6 indicates that a bottle has been detected by the reacquisition sensor and no pass signal is present, but a reject signal is present and a signal indicating that the first rejection device has successfully rejected the bottle will be shot. The normal reject status as received from the sensor is shown. State 5 is the same as state 6, except that no shoot signal is present, thereby requiring activation of the second rejection device. State 4 is the same as state 6, except that a pass signal has been generated. A fail signal has priority and a shoot signal confirms that the bottle has been rejected. This reject has priority, but the chute sensor does not detect the reject and the second rejection device is activated. State 3 is the same as state 5 except that a pass signal is present in addition to the reject signal.
States 7 and 8 correspond to states where the reacquisition sensor detects a bottle but there is no pass or fail signal.
This allows the rejection device to operate as a fail-safe mechanism to prevent a stateless bottle from being accepted. The chute sensor detects the rejected bottle and no further action is required. If there is no signal detected by the shoot signal, the second rejector is activated to remove the bottle (state 7). State 9 is the inactive state of the device with no signal present, and state 10 is identical to state 9 except that there is a shoot signal indicating that the shoot sensor is blocked. State 12 is
Identical to State 6, but the reacquisition sensor is not activated. State 11 is the same as state 5, but the reacquisition sensor is not activated. State 15 is the same as state 3, but the reacquisition sensor is not activated. State 16 is the same as state 4, but the reacquisition sensor is not activated.

FIG. 3 is a logic diagram of this device. The control device determines (40) the state of the inspection device using the pass signal, the reject signal, the reacquisition signal, and the shoot signal as inputs, and determines whether the defined state requires the operation of the second rejection device ( If the controller responds positively to the question of 42), the controller activates the second rejector (44) and kicks the bottle out of the conveyor.

It is arranged at a position close to the first rejection device. The control device is
If the time between the leading edge and the trailing edge is determined (56) and the controller answers affirmatively to the question as to whether the determined condition requires activation of the second rejection device (58), For example, the control device activates the second rejection device for a time T after an activation signal is supplied to the first rejection device (which is separated by a diameter d) (60). The position of the second rejection device is adjustable to facilitate setting the rejection device at a position separated by a diameter d.
